While there have been some major economic challenges recently, this has not stopped countless couples from still pursuing the weddings of their dreams. Many of these couples have simply adjusted their dreams to the times, scaling the scope of their weddings to lessen the financial burden on themselves and family members. Achieving this will require some attentive planning, which should be easier since there must be a wedding plan anyway. With some flexibility, creativity, and attention to every budgetary detail, any couple can have an amazing wedding without breaking the bank.
Reducing your expectations slightly, however, doesn't mean you need to cut-back on your wedding day style. There are a number of ways that you can cut costs and still have a beautiful event! Some ideas to throw a budget-friendly and beautiful wedding are outlined below.
For the majority of weddings, the reception will usually wind up being the most expensive aspect. Besides the reception space itself, there is also the catering services, which include food, bar, and staff, as well as any entertainment, whether live band, DJ, or both. Creativity is key here if you want to save money, as there may be a lot of possible reception options that you have not yet considered. You could hold the reception at a family member's home, as well as inexpensively (free?!) hire friends and family to provide food and entertainment, and a variety of other unorthodox ways to cut costs. Also, whether the space is a church, hall, or public park, you could save a good amount of money by having both the wedding ceremony and the reception at the same venue.
Though most women probably would not like to consider it, it is possible to save money on your wedding dress, compromising on something other than those extravagant celebrity-type dresses. In many instances you might be able to have your dress specially designed and made by a local dressmaker for a lot less than a store-bought dress from a famous designer. By purchasing a used wedding dress, then having a local dressmaker alter and change the original design, you will have a unique, one of a kind dress for a fraction of other specially made dresses.
Whatever decisions are made regarding your wedding plans and any money saving efforts, just be sure that these are made in unity between the bride and groom, through communication and cooperation.
